Mr. Hinrichs Writes n Letter to Mailer Pond
Tending to Calm Troubled Feeling In
Rrooklyn-Dr. Parker Poor but Thrifty.

Parker and Major ]. h. Pond In various quar-
tiers for delay in accounting for the receipts
derived from DR.. Parker's eulogy on Henry
Ward Beecher induced Major Pond to make a
statement to Vice President Hinrichs of the
Beecher Statue Fund Committee. He went
mont to deliver the culoGy.
Under the circumstances" said Major
Pond. DIR. Parker. relying upon the engage
ment of the committee, made no conditions
with me us to provision for his travelling ex-
penses. out and home, or for his pulpit supply
during his absence. In Wow of all these facts,
DIR. Parker was entirely justified in expecting
to be paid by the Statue Fund Committee for
tho expenses of his journey, and 1t was not. to
say the least. unreasonable that he should
assume that his further stimulation as TO pay
ment for his pulpit supply had been assented
Major Pond thought the best way out of tho
difficulty was to await the return e.. the mem
Dor Of Plymouth Church who agreed to nay for
to see that gentleman, who is Mr.. Thomas G.
us soon Us he heard Of his arrival,
agreed to fulfil his promise Without Meditation.
Having received from him 800 for DIR. Parker'S
expenses, Major Pond, Immediately HANDED
net receipts from the eulogy.
The gross REGENTS were something like l,sao,
Pond Objected Yesterday to giving a reporteran
itemized account for publication. Mr.. Hinrichs
stated that such an account was given to lin
verbally, but he did not remember 1t all. Tho
rental Of the Brooklyn Academy. Of Music, he
said, cost $3.50. The expenses Of an advance
paid for printing circulars and incidtntals.
